Naw, "4" wasn't delayed though. It came out on release day as planned, DURING Adele season. And really, I don't see any parallel between the Queen's "4" era and "ANTi." Bey released "4" regardless. Win, lose, or draw. Most importantly, it remains my favorite album from her. She delivered a high quality album.
In fact, 4 > BEYONCE.

Yes, the surprise release was great but NO ONE can do that again & expect the same Bey impact.

Nope, I don't see where you're going with this comparison at all.
